I normally would fall asleep at this time but now it's later between 3-4AM. And I think this is a symptom of my mental health decaying.

Sorry Lenom. I’m almost certain insomnia very commonly proceeds episodes of poor mental health. Like [email protected] said, sleep hygiene can really help. Have a set routine you do an hour before bedtime. Shower, brush teeth, get jammies on, stuff like that. Just be in bed by the time you set, maybe 30 minutes before you normally go to bed. You don’t have to try to go to sleep at 10pm.

And you’re allowed to have trouble falling asleep. It’s okay. Try to make going to bed comforting for yourself instead of stressful. I know it’s difficult. I’ve been there many times before. DM me if you want other advice.

Take care, comrade.
